Welcome to the English-language Wiktionary, a collaborative project to produce a free-content multilingual dictionary. It aims to describe all words of all languages using definitions and descriptions in English.
Wiktionary has grown beyond a standard dictionary and now includes athesaurus, a rhyme guide, phrase books, language statistics and extensive appendices. We aim to include not only the definition of a word, but also enough information to really understand it. Thusetymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms and translations are included.
This is theEnglish-language Wiktionary, where words from all languages are defined in English. For example, see the entry for the French worddictionnaire. To find a French definition of that word, visit the equivalent pagein the French Wiktionary.
